It’s all go, go, go at the minute. Just a week ago today I graduated from Teesside University (CCAD). Since then I have been helping with the preparations for the ‘Off The Shelf’ exhibition which is due to preview on Friday.

A joint effort from studio artists

﻿‘Off The Shelf’ is a selling exhibition showcasing an amazing range of artworks including painting, glassware, ceramics, artists’ books, jewellery, printmaking, textiles and photography created by over sixty artists, including myself. As well as exhibiting some work in the show I have been commissioned to add my own surface design to the walls of the gallery, which of course I am very excited about. The design I am using I have taken from my Gold Mosaic wallpaper. The scale of the pattern has been made larger and random patches of the Gold design is scattered around the gallery space.

Studio tenants at Saltburn Artists Projects will also be opening their doors to the public on the same evening as the preview of ‘Off the Shelf’. This will be a fantastic chance to see the creative processes, speak to the artists and have an opportunity to purchase unique hand made artworks made by myself and other Studio Artists.

Open Studios and Preview of ‘Off The Shelf’ opens 6-9pm on 26th November 2010, Wine and cheese will be served. Please do come along, everyone is welcome.

About Me

Since graduating in Textile and Surface Design in 2010 my practise has been based in a studio in the north east seaside town of Saltburn-by-the-Sea, England. Patternation is my own surface design business. Using my personal favourite techniques, 3D paper and hand cut-work mixed with digital technology, I aim to create beautifully patterned home and gift products ranging from wallpapers through to unique framed artworks and cards.
For me inspiration comes from my favourite things, art and beautiful objects from jewellery to ceramics. The question, does surface pattern have to be flat, encourages me to explore exciting possibilities. I strive to create work which is unique and is one hundred percent my own.
